Most of the photos in this page are not mine. They are photos that I liked or I found interesting. I don't have any right on these photos, I haven't asked for that. They are simply pages of a newspaper, magazine, internet site or book and I kept them in an album. Many thanks to various medias including: individual photographers, museums, journals, web magazines and agencies -in particular TIME, FT, AP, AFP, Reuters, GETTY Images.

February 21, 2016 - Abdulay, 10 years old. Abdulay is only a child but he is one of hundreds of children working at the Djuga artisanal mines.

February 15, 2016 - Sunflowerboy. At home in a valley of sunflowers, the young boy Benjamin Gradinari spends a lot of his time working and playing.
